Take From The Poor & Give to the Rich !
The Democrats on the so-called Super Committee took a disturbing step this week, when they made a major concession to Republicans – proposing $200 billion in cuts to Medicare.
And the Wall Street Journal reports that Democrats are also supporting changing the cost-of-living formula — cutting current and future Social Security benefits.
With private pensions of the 99% being ransacked by the 1%, the last thing we need to do now is weaken our pillars of retirement security. Sign the petition to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Democratic Leader Pelosi: Don't let the Super Committee cut Social Security and Medicare.
We can stop the Super Committee.
Democrats on the committee are working in close consultation with their Senate and House leaders. If we let them know that the 99% believe Social Security and Medicare cuts are both cruel policy and suicidal politics, we can push them back from the brink.
We have repeatedly used our people power to stop Washington from slashing our retirement security. And we can do it again.
Sign the petition http://action.ourfuture.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=156 to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi: Don't let the Super Committee cut Social Security and Medicare. The only way a dirty deal to decimate Social Security and Medicare will happen is in the back room. It's up to us to force this issue into the sunshine. We know that if the public actually has the final word on how to cut our long-term deficit, the 1% would be comfortably paying their fair share instead of the 99% getting another kick in the teeth. We would be raising taxes on millionaires and taxing reckless Wall Street speculation, as well as getting rid of wasteful military spending that only fattens the wallets of private contractors. We don't need to gut Social Security and Medicare. And we need to tell Washington that we know we don't.

Social Security and Medicare are still with us because we've kept on fighting for them. Don't stop now.

"Take From The Poor & Give to the Rich !" Who does this? We have been carrying the ever-growing poor population to the point where it is fashionable to be poor, and that is making the rest of us poor. With endless entitlements being dished out, more and more people jump over to the ranks of the recipient class, never contributing anything to the economy except bastard babies that we all feed, clothe, provide everything for and give Pell grants to. The same "poor" who don't contribute to Social Security or Medicare, but who jump in line for Medicaid, EBT cards, free lunches, utility payments, housing assistance, WIC, every entitlement there is. When will we make a commitment to end this cycle? How has the New Society worked out since the '60's? Hint: IT HASN'T, AND IS A GROSS FAILURE. All of the federal programs designed to "help" the poor only make the problem worse. "Poor" is mostly in mind and in heart. You can't fix "poor" that is in someone's work ethic or decision-making--the individual must do that. When that is done, the rest of "poor" fixes itself...
